"allowhardlink" is an important setting. Plesk, please do not remove it. @enerspace It will be worth asking official Plesk support on this as this seems to be a case where a check directly on your server is required.

„allowhardlink“ ist eine wichtige Einstellung. Plesk, bitte entfernen Sie sie nicht. @enerspace Es lohnt sich, den offiziellen Plesk-Support diesbezüglich zu fragen, da dies ein Fall zu sein scheint, in dem eine Überprüfung direkt auf Ihrem Server erforderlich ist.

Why should there be an issue with my operating system? In most CentOS versions, Logrotate 3.18.0 is the maximum installed version:
Almalinux 8 / Rockylinux 8: 3.14.0
Almalinux 9 / Rockylinux 9: 3.18.0

But I noticed that Plesk uses its own version: /usr/local/psa/logrotate/sbin/logrotate:3.21.0

The 'allowhardlink' option was integrated in Logrotate version 3.19.0.

Thanks!

Hello, @enerspace. First, we would like to apologize for the delayed response. Your report was reviewed by our engineers and according to them you are not supposed to use system’s logrotate binary with Plesk conf file.
Valid usage is to call plesk logrotate binary (which comes from `psa-logrotate-3.22.0-2.redhat.8+p18.0.63.1+t240809.1058.x86_64`):

/usr/local/psa/logrotate/sbin/logrotate -f /usr/local/psa/etc/logrotate.conf
